  • Overview

Perched right on the picturesque harbour front, The Rum & Crab Shack is the place where sea-faring flavours meet world-class rum in a relaxed, friendly setting. Born from a late-night idea among four friends in 2012, the Shack celebrates two great loves: fresh crab and exceptional rum. Today you’ll find an impressive collection of over 100 rums from around the world lining the bar — each one waiting to be savoured alongside delicious seafood, seasonal specials and creative cocktails.

This bustling harbour-front favourite serves up a vibrant mix of local seafood dishes, hearty plates, vegetarian and vegan options, and rum-infused drinks. It’s also the spiritual home of beloved house rums like Dead Man’s Fingers and the indulgent Stargazy Cosmic Caramel liqueur, both crafted with character and Cornish spirit.

Whether you’re dropping by for lunch or lingering late over rum cocktails, the Shack offers a dog-friendly, laid-back atmosphere where everyone’s welcome — no booking needed most days, just rock up and enjoy the view, the food and the drinks.
